Let’s talk pros and cons.

What do you love most about the PR industry?

And, what do you think needs to change?

Love that no day is the same and each day is exciting. Think a lot has to change. One person should not be put on 12 + accounts. Internal communication needs to be better and office culture has to improve.

Definitely not! I agree that how we distribute account work needs to change. We work our junior staff to the ground.

Good: Common sense is often treated as “insight” at agencies (which is great if you’re not, you know, a Kool-Aid-drinking moron).

Change: TOO MANY KOOL-AID-DRINKING MORONS

PREACH! I see this a lot at my current agency. Many, follow the status quo and don’t want to be challenge creatively. Why are we recycling tactics from 2014? Ugh.

Fellow millennial lawyers: tell me, in general terms, 1 or 2 clients you acquired and how you acquired them. I feel like the suggested strategies for developing business are always the same: network, build your brand (hate this phrase), market yourself on LinkedIn, etc. Does any of this work? Seems to me to that most business development comes from long-standing contacts (e.g. your childhood best friend is now CEO and needs legal services), so I’m curious how other attorneys developed business.

Not necessarily looking for company names (though, sure toss them out!), but more so paths people have tried I might not be thinking of. Thanks!

I worked as Comms Dir. for 6 years at a nonprofit that hosts conferences as its primary activity. 3 yrs back, financial problems gutted staff and my position was eliminated- due to my intervention, my direct report remained. This person I hired and trained has done well, organized and efficient. It is now time to staff up for another conference and I’m welcome to return, but my direct report is being promoted to Comms Dir. they’d like to split the role somehow, but I can’t figure out how.
